Children and divorce
“I may be getting divorced from my husband, I have a child pior to our marriage, and am currently pregnant. Can he fight me for custody of my child who came from another relationship, and who has no relationship with the father? and can he fight for custody of the child who has not yet been born?”
In law, any child in a marriage (no matter where they “came from” e.g. adopted, fostered, born before marriage etc) is regarded as a “child of the family” so that he could seek residence of both children. “Residence” is effectively the new word used in place of “custody”.
But, I want you to know that from what you so far tell me, his chances of success would be low. I say this as I think it is important that you don’t worry about this. Children normally end up with their mother despite what the equality theories and political correctness say!
